Rocklin continues to be not only one of the safest cities in the
region, but in the entire state, based on statistics compiled
internally and by national third-party safety organizations.

Rocklin was recently named the 16th-safest city in
California by the website SafeWise, which looked at rates of
violent crime and property crimes in more than 228 California
cities.

Rocklin PD also recently released their
annual report, which showed an overall decrease in Rocklin
crime compared to the last several years. Reported crimes
declined 3.8 percent, from 1,219 in 2017, to 1,010 in 2018.
Violent crime and property crime also each decreased 17 percent,
respectively.

This enviable situation is made possible by of the hard work of
the Rocklin Police Department, public safety volunteers, other
city departments, and the collaborative involvement of residents
and the business community.

“Residents and visitors to our city deserve to be very proud of
this police department and the staff who work with our community
to maintain Rocklin as a premiere, safe, destination city,”
Police Chief Chad Butler stated in a message opening the report.

Rocklin PD’s annual report also included a triennial survey of
residents, gauging their feelings on the safety of their city.
The department received 1,123 responses, with residents overall
reporting that they feel Rocklin is a safe place to live and that
they were happy with the quality of police services.

Although traffic collisions decreased by 17 percent in 2018,
survey respondents still rated speeding in their neighborhoods
and traffic violations as their top concerns, followed by vehicle
break-ins.
